Fete des Fromages d'Ici

Why?Because we are unabashed lovers of cheese.

February is a grim month. But amid the snow and slush and ice and cold is a rare bright spot: Montréal en Lumière, or the High Lights Festival, a highlight of which, for us, is its cheese tasting. On February 20, cheese makers from across the province will gather downtown, at Complexe Desjardins, to show off their wares and answer your burning questions about them. Seriously, though, this is a good opportunity to school yourself on some of the best cheeses Quebec has to offer. But if that’s not to your liking, take heart: There'll be beer, too.
